Mayer-helmed GALILEO musical and more part of Berkeley Rep season

I agree with a lot of the comments here. The show has potential but needs some work.

Standouts are the leads. Esparza, Kushnier and Mathews are really good in this. The set is nice (though I am not a fan of the LED rope lights in the columns, it looks a bit janky).

A few misses for me:

The songs are very forgettable and samey (as previously mentioned in this post). Some of them also are very Eurovis

Wonderful article.  If memory serves.me the national tour launched in San.Francisco.  Met with great critical acclaim and was embraced by all the bay area cities.  So thrilling to have experienced it at the beginning.

Welll...don't keep us in suspense.  Or did I miss a previous post?

And by "favorite", do you mean favorite good or favorite bad?  I yam very confused.

I wish them well, but I will believe this when it is up and running.......perhaps not even then.  Yes, Aliante is a "local" hotel/casino.

Jordan Catalano said: "Exactly. Which is why I threw any and all expectations out and walked in tonight expecting something strange and completely new. I think if you know/love this show and want to have any sort of enjoyment watching it, that's what you need to do with this one."

All moi can add is ... "Not Since Carrie"

ACT will present SOUL TRAIN musical world premiere in fall 2023
 Sep 1 2023, 08:26:31 PM

Member ARTc3 has a review of the first preview up and it is detailed and favorable.  Title "The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical".

Yes, I believe that unless there are some copyright disqualifications the title will be changed and/or just reversed.

Thanks for this.  Attending late September with my theatre group.  Twenty-two people.  First production photos have me excited as well.  We will be located center mezzanine, just a couple of rows back.

PM me if you like.

Discount offer from TeleCharge received in my [California] mailbox today.  No mention of dates in the copy.  Lead quote from noted theatre critic Eleanor Roosevelt: "If you have not seen Purlie Victorious I  think it is well for you as an American citizen to see it."

ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME To Close September 3, 2023
 Aug 21 2023, 10:57:37 PM

Scaled down tour?  

This gives me an evening slot to fill on October 4.  I just dunno about Shucked.  Set for Merrily, Shark, HLL and Back to the Future.  Sweeney again?  Josh was out my previous visit and I had a bad location in the mezz.  Just didn't care for this revival.but will offer it to my group when it tours.

 

 


To Kill A Mockingbird latest tour.
 Aug 12 2023, 12:10:33 AM

It will play the Golden Gate here.  Large, but we usually get very good first, second and third rows in side loge...not extreme side though.  Am really hoping that North Country goes into the Curran.   Much more intimate than Golden Gate or Orpheum.

Great.  The quoted group prices certain!y haven't dropped. 

FYI Ambassadors seems to be more active with their dynamic pricing than SHN ever was, but that has been a boon for some of our group performances.  By ordering so early for Tina we saved $40 off the regular prices and because Les Miz was so popular we saved a whopping $130 per seat!

Thank you.  The shorter run dates had me worried.  I will order after confirming next Monday.
